Have you tried savory oats yet? It's a nice change-up from the sweet way oatmeal is typically served, plus you get a full serving of vegetables. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons diced shallot
2 cups rolled oats (see Tip)
4 cups water plus 1/2 cup, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
10 cups chopped collard greens (from 1-2 bunches)
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup chipotle salsa, plus more for serving
4 large eggs, cooked as desired

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add oats and stir for 1 minute. Add 4 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until creamy, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add collards along with the remaining 1/2 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.
Stir cheese and salsa into the oatmeal. Serve with the collards, eggs and more salsa, if desired.

Tips

Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use oats that are labeled “gluten-free,” as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
